Each year, law students and faculty from the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University, along with local lawyers, judges, and actors, create a mock trial of a literary figure as a fundraiser in support of The Halifax Humanities Society.
2023: Grinch v. Whoville – A Fundraiser for Halifax Humanities
On Thursday, March 23rd at 7pm, Dalhousie law students hosted the 12th Annual Weldon Literary Moot in support of The Halifax Humanities Society. This year, the comic mock trial was based on the characters of Dr. Seuss’s beloved The Grinch, with the Grinch himself bringing the matter of public nuisance against the residents of Whoville. As well, this marked the Literary Moot’s first in-person performance in two years!
